Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Kelty Women's Redwing Backpack features all you need for a day on the trail, but easily handles a day in school as well. Large front and side pockets keep your gear organized, so you're never without a snack or a pen when you have to take notes for Chem. Unlike most multi-use packs, the Kelty Redwing includes a well-padded waist-belt to help you carry your load when you leave the trailhead."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The women's specific Kelty Redwing 2500 Backpack is ideal for everyday usea "from the trails to the subway. A go-to favorite, this affordable, lightweight, internal frame pack supports heavy loads, while side and front pockets keep you organized, resulting in all-day comfort."

From REI:
"A proven workhorse from Kelty, the rugged, lightweight Redwing 2500 women's pack is a natural for day hikes yet has excellent capacity and organization for going overnight. Anatomically curved shoulder straps and removable air-mesh hipbelt are sculpted to fit your body and distribute weight for load-carrying ease. Women-specific shoulder straps are shaped through the bust and placed more closely together than unisex straps; hipbelt padding aligns to a woman's hipbones. Straps, hipbelt and padded backpanel are lined with moisture-wicking mesh that dries quickly, keeping you comfortable in the heat of hiking. Supportive LightBeam™ stay shaves off half the weight of a traditional stay, yet is 30% stiffer. Sternum strap, load-lifter straps and belt stabilizers help balance the load; pulleylike Scherer Cinch™ doubles hipbelt tightening force. Roomy, panel-opening main compartment features an interior slab pocket and tube port for carrying various hydration reservoirs, sold separately. Front pocket has an organizer panel with key clip and map pocket. Other essentials can be kept organized and handy in 2 zippered side pockets, front zippered stash pocket and twin mesh water bottle pockets. Strap on even more equipment with daisy chain, ice axe loop and lash tabs. Side compression straps help stabilize the load. Constructed from rugged 600-denier ripstop polyester and reinforced with 610-denier Cordura® polyester to withstand the rigors of the trail."

From GearX.com:
"Utility is its middle name"

"I bought this pack after realizing that the one I was using previously (Cerro Torre Stealth 40L) was too long for me and therefore was not comfortable to carry. My trips are generally day hikes or three-season overnights, and on the overnights I strive to keep my pack weight down as I am a rather small person."
